Please go to bagder/TRRprefs for the current incarnation of the docs, and please help us out polish and maintain this documentation!

Another one to add to the list of possible resolvers (network.trr.uri) is Quad9's DoH service.
https://dns9.quad9.net/dns-query
or for no malicious blocking...
https://dns10.quad9.net/dns-query

with the boostrap IPs of 9.9.9.9

that's why you can't use 8.8.8.8 as bootstrapAddress.

So how come I can use 1.1.1.1 even though cloudflare-dns.com never resolves to 1.1.1.1 ?

I tried 2 servers and I did not get trr.mode 3 (forced) to work with any of them other then cloudflair. I used 1.1.1.1 on bootstrap am I supposed to use another server? Should any normal DNS server work there? I tried another regular IPv4 DNS server in there but it does not work either.

Firefox 67.0.4 (64-Bit) on Tumbleweed.

// actually https://dns10.quad9.net/dns-query works with 9.9.9.9 bootstrap as well as mentioned above so every resolver url has to have its own specific bootstrap DNS server for forced mode?

From this list https://github.com/curl/curl/wiki/DNS-over-HTTPS#publicly-available-servers Foundation for Applied Privacy sounds really nice but what use is it if I can not use it in forced mode? They say on their instructions how to set the URL and say you have to set bootstrap but do not bother to tell you to what exactly? I do not get it, tried their IPv4 they list below for DNS-over-TLS (DoT) not sure if this relates, at first I thought it works but I guess it was just because of cache, it actually does not work.

@iphorde Yeah, cause RFC for it doesn't exist, it totally isn't rfc8484, oh wait.

The RFC was written after I posted my comment. You should look at the dates. October 2018. I posted on Aug 5, 2018. This is still a terrible idea.

What about network.trr.wait-for-A-and-AAAA? It seems to be true by default, but it looks like it would do the same thing as network.trr.early-AAAA. What does it do?

I created this gist while working for Mozilla on the TRR implementation. It has not been maintained and I do not work for Mozilla anymore - since late 2018. For up-to-date Firefox DoH documentation, I hope that Mozilla has a better reference than this by now!

@iphorde: the RFC was work in progess within the IETF when we wrote this code and several others did the same. That's how protocol standards are typically made.

Update Google's server please-- https://dns.google/dns-query

If it helps anyone that winds up at this gist, you can exclude / bypass domains from being resolved with DoH using network.trr.excluded-domains

I've transitioned this gist into a separate github repository, and I will accept pull requests to update and fix the documentaton.

Open a PR for the google DOH server address change.

I've now cut down this gist to force everyone over to the repo instead to keep the docs at a single place. I also added two missing prefs and moved over some blurb from my blog post.
